A WASHINGTON special to the Chicago Herald says that there is every indication that the territories of Dakota, Washington, Montana and possibly Utah will be admitted into statehood. While Utah has adopted a new constitution which prohibits the perpetuity of polyg- amy within the territory, congress will make the provision that in the event of the territory'S admission into the Union, that clause of the constitution cannot be disturbed without the consent of congress. It matters not, however, if they are ad!nitted at this session, they VIII not be granted the right of the na- tional franchise until 1892.

He reports that the latter work, so far as it has pro grcSsed, has resulted in restoring to the public domain nearly twenty two million acres. He also urges appropriations for surveys, that further complications on land grants may be avoided.

THE New York Herald says The nomination of Mr. Lamar to the Supreme Bench to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Judge Woods will satisfy the country: Mir. Lamar is learned, able, honorable, original and intrepid statesman, and will maintain the character and intellectual force of the Supreme Court. Itis objected to Lamar that he is over sixty years of age and that he is a Southern man with strong Southern opinions. The first objection is g sentiment. If Mir. Lamar is young enough to sit i'll the Cabinet he is young enough to sit on the bench. The second ob- jection, that he Is a Southern man, is the best reason for his appoint ment. We want a distinctively Southern Ju.lge in this court.

Mexico Becoming Mere Liberal.

The Two Republics, one of the
 leading journals of our sister re- public, says: The Chamber of Dep uties has passed a bill, which will surely be promptly approved by the Senate. authorizing the Executive to make contracts for the construc- tion of railways and to agree to amendments in the contracts al- ready made. This authorization will continue in force until August 31st, 1888. It is believed that &p- plications for contracts for construc- ton of number of short roads connecting with the trunk lines will soon be made, and 1t is also under stood that such notifications of existing contracts will be made as will enable companies to commence work on lines, where little or noth- ing has till now been done. All in- dications point to great activity in railroad construction in this coun- try during the years 1888 and 1889.

WE TAKE the following extracts f: om the report of Gov. Zulick to the Secretary of the Interior as to the development, prosperity and fu- tureprospdrity Arizona; There irelfh0 h05aD4o miles nob aailreatp in Arizona. Twoi great trunk linhs,s the Southern Pacific and the Atlan2. tic and Pacific traverse the Terri tory from east to west, the former representing 3S3 miles and the lat ter 392 miles. During the past year 1878 miles of the new road have been built-the Maricopl and Phoenix, connecting the city of PhGniX, county seat of Maricopa county, via Tempe, with the South ern Pacific road, at or near Mari copa station, 345; the Prescott and Arizona Central, connecting Pres cott, the capital of the Territory, with Prescott Junction, on the At lantic and Pacific road 73.3 miles, and 30 miles of the Mineral Belt road. The Prescott road is open ing up the mineral and agricultural regions of northern Iavapai, and the Phonix road is giving to the farmers and horticulturists of the Salt River valley an open market, and rapid transportation for all their products. There will in all probability be a connecting link be- tween the Prescott and PL9niX roads built in the near future, also d northerlv extension to the Utah Southern, which will open up a large and valuable belt of mineral land and anthracite and bituminous coal fields, besides throwing open to settlement many rich mountain valleys winch will grow cereals, fruits and vegetables.
 "The progress of the Territory for the past year has been gratify= ing. A new interest has been given 10 all our industrial enterprises. Canals and waterways are being constructed, thousands of acres of land are being reclaimed, new rail- roads are being built, herds of cat tie are increasing, agriculture and horticulture are prospering, mining interests are improving, labor is proftably employed, capital IS re- ceiving liberal return, and law and order are maintained. Outside of the presence of the Apache Indians within her borders, there is nothing now to retard Arizona's rapid de- velopment. Peopled by sturdy, liberal and progressive body of citi- zens, she is making social as well as industrial progress, and laying the foundation deop and strong for the establishment of free and soy ereign State"

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
A Prediction That the Order VIII
Fall to Pieces.

BUFFALO. y. Y, Dec 1.-The illness
OF General Master Workman Powderly
causes much anxiety in Knights OF
Labor circles in this city. Prominent
knights profess to believe that his enc
mics will seize on the opportunity TO
make further lnroads upon his position,
and undermine him. There is feeling
of uneasineSs among union men who
think that tile internal troubles in the
ranks of the order may end in its dis
ruption, and the trades unions are not
the least backward in expressing the
opinion that the knights have reached
the pinnacle of greatness, and that the
organization is rapidly retrOgrading.
Commenting upon the situation AdOlph
StrasSer, president of the International
Cigarmakers' union, said to-day:
81 am not surprised at the trouble in
the Philadelphia assembly. for il only
yeriiies my prediction made over a year
ago, when | said that instead of some
100000 paper members in the Knights
OF Labor there would not be over no.
600 At the end of two years. As matter
of fact, the real strength of the Organi-
ZatiOn now is not over 100000. The
great strength of the organization was
in the New England states, and il had
some 10000 members there two wears
ago. Now doubt whether it has over
10000. The progress was too raDd.
The order swept over the country like
d great wave. 1t is bound TO recede
just as rapidly as il advanced. The
principal reason" he went on, ''fOr this
reaction is that men Joined the order for
selfish motives, hoping to better their
condition. That is the ease, of course,
in every organization, but in the Knights
of Labor the intention of the members
is not so much 10 better the condition of
the workmen, but for the increase of
Wages. Ii has not SO much for its OBJ
ject the raising of the standard of labor
as increasing its pay. The result was
any number of strikes, and as men can't
live during Il strike without money, and
as money failed to come, the strikes were
failures; but the great mistake was at
the Cleveland convention when they re-
jected the overtures of the trade unions.
We offered treaty in which we were
to work in unison, but to have control
of our individual matters. This they
would not allow, and the employers
made up their minds TO fgth the weaker
organization, the knights of Labor If
the capitalists succeed III defeating
them then the unions will have to fight
the next battle, and i can give you an
instance how the rejection of that treaty
weakened the Knights. The cigar
makers in this state organized two dis
tricts of Knights of Labor and obtained
some 500 members. just as soon as our
overtureS were rejected they imme-

Mr.. BOND TALKS.
The Vice President OF the NEiIwau-
kee & st. Paul on Rate Cutting.

kFf q II. 1auI on lSIic IuiItnH-
New YORK, Dee. l4.-Vice President
Bond, Of the Chicago, Milwaukee Il st.
Paul. talked with reporter yesterday
iii regard to the rate cutting in the
Northwest. lie said:
II am not advised sufficiently as to
details 10 give You any idea Of what
changes have been made or are cOntem-
plated in rates, bat this should be re-
mcmbercd in reading the dispatches of
rate reductions. Before the interstate
law WAS in effect secret cutting was in
Gulged in and little was heard about it.
Now. if any readiTstnent Of rates is
desired notice * given and the news
paper correspondents make the most of
il. The notice given at times Of an in
tcntiOn to reduce tariffs do not neccS-
sariiy involve a reduction. In other
days the roads were associated in pools
for dividing the traffic; now they are
simply associations to maintain rates.
II read iuStmcntS are deemed advisable
road gives notice of an intended re-
duction so as to be able to put the rates
into effect if ali agreement with its com
pctitOrs cannot be reached before the
date Of the expiration of the notice. AS
] understand it the question of reducing
Iowa and Missouri rates is to be
decided upon Dee. 20. and the re-
ductiOn may not be made. The
threatened trouble comes from the
action of the receiver of the Wabash.
He declares that he must put down
Illinois state rates in order TO conform
to the interstate rates established by
the trunk-linc system. Of course. if the
Wabash reduces its rates, the other
Illinois rates must do the same. The
Chicago IL Alton announces that if the
Wabash makes the reduction il threat
ems it will carry the lower basis through
TO Kansas City. That will. of course,
compel the Chicago. Burlington &
Quincy to follow and the reductions
will doubtless force reimbursement
more 0r less on the lines running to
Council Bluffs. But this will not affect
the vast territory north of the Omaha
lines into Dakota. Most Of The reduc-
tons of which notice has been given in
the last few MONTHS" continued Mr..
Bond. "haVe not been made, as, before
the time expired. the roads decided to
make no change. / do not believe there
have been any material reductions in
rates this year, although there have
been frequent readjuStlnents required
by the Interstate law. But the gross
earnings of the roads show for them
selves that the readiuStments have not
leSsened the total returns from
traffic. In fact, | believe that the
Granger roads have obtained better
rates under lhe new law than they did

1t is folly TO assert, however, that there

those joining the order did so to get
money, not TO pay it. There is one as
sertion," continued Mr.. Strasser, THAT
is frequently made which is not true.
The X. of l.. has not ceased its war
upon the trades unions. 1t has been
done secretly, not openly. That is all
there is to it. They nave no friendship
